I just got married this past Saturday, and my wife and I are already planning our one-year anniversary. We know we want to go on a cruise, but neither of us have ever been on one. We live in Texas and I'm terrified of flying (near-death experience after graduating high school), so I would prefer a cruise departing from Galveston, but it isn't a deal-breaker.
Basically, I've been looking at Norwegian and Carnival Cruise Lines, but am not sure what exactly which ships and respective rooms people favor. My wife wants to do either a Hawaiian or Panama Canal cruise (I know these don't depart from Galveston; that's fine), but we're open to whatever.
Preferring 7+ days sometime between August and September of 2011, does anybody have suggestions? For all experienced cruisers, any ships or specific rooms that have been preferred over others? We'll both be 22 by this time next year, so we're looking for an active vacation that offers plenty of fun, rather than just relaxation.
Thanks to everyone, in advance.
